Adding a caption to featured images in WordPress

I recently saw this question on Reddit. Someone was asking why can’t he add a caption to his post’s featured image.

Featured images have a different status, so to say, than normal images you add inside a post.

Captions on featured images won’t appear unless the theme developers add a special feature for that, which is quite rare.

If you want that feature, you can kindly ask the developers to help you with some customization – if it’s not too complex and doesn’t go beyond what they usually offer through support – or you can use a plugin called FSM Custom Featured Image Caption.

That’s a wrap
